Start the v8.5 deployment manager

Back up the v8.5 deployment manager configuration

Migrate cells using the command-line tools

Ensure that the previous version of the deployment manager is not running.

1. Change to the new v8.5 dmgr profile bin directory.

2. Run the startManager command.

3. While the deployment manager is running, check the SystemOut.log file for warnings or errors.

   This topic references one or more of the application server log files. As a recommended alternative, we can configure the server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log , SystemErr.log, trace.log, and activity.log files on distributed and IBM i systems. We can also use HPEL in conjunction with the native z/OS logging facilities. If we are using HPEL, we can access all of the log and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from the server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.

4. Check all of the node's nodeagent and application server logs for new warnings or errors. If automatic synchronization is enabled, allow the node to synchronize, allow the applications to restart, and then check the logs for new warnings or errors.
